Quakers at the Edinburgh Fringe
During the Fringe, the Quaker Meeting House becomes Venue 40. Our venue is in the heart of the historic city centre, and our events run throughout the Fringe. The Quaker Festival Committee and Venue 40 staff endeavour to provide a friendly and welcoming venue for our visiting companies, audiences and tearoom customers. Our values of equality, peace, integrity and simplicity influence our theatre programme selection and the way we run the venue.
Local Quakers welcome all who join them in their silence-based Meetings for Worship which take place in our top floor meeting room. These are held daily:
Monday to Saturday, at 8 am. and at 1.00 pm. for about 30 minutes and on
Sundays at 9:30 am for about ¾ hour and at 11 am for about 1 hour.
For details about Central Edinburgh Quaker Meeting throughout the rest of the year please visit our Meeting website.
Edinburgh Festival Fringe
2011 was a successful year for Venue 40. You can still view this past year's programme. There was something for everyone. There was a show for children and a show about children. There was comedy, drama and music. We brought you performers from around the world. And we gave you a quiet space.
We hope to bring you our venue application pack for our 65-seat black-box theatre shortly.
